I need to know wtf this thing is. They guy i bought the car from couple months ago did all the work on the car and now im finding somethings he sucks at. i was converting my full CAI to a "shortram" cuz its been raining a lot lately. this is just for a temp fix. I found this thing while i was messin with the CAI and cant figure out wtf it is. its all connected in the order u see the pics.

first pic looks like your IAT sensor

 

IAT sensor eh... wheres it go?

 

Tape is a good temp solution for the holes in the trunk.

 

The wiring looks to match as the IAT (Air Intake Temperature Sensor). Red/yel green/black. I see your throttle is the top mount style. The sensor goes into the stock air box right above the throttle.

 

Intake Air Temp. take a wild guess where it goes. you can buy plugs for your spoiler holes, or just get creative if its just temporary.

 

well i dont have a stock air box. i found a hole on the underside of my CAI pipe and it fit perfect there. is that right? lol i dunno. yer help is totally appreciated.

what kinda tape? i know waterproof but i need something that wont leave a residue like duct tape.

That will work fine, it just needs to know what the air temp going into the engine is so the ecu will vary the fuel accordingly

 

thats what i thought. i had never seen it plugged into the CAI before i got it. so i think it may have fallen out when the guy did some gournd work to the car. think i will see better mpg now thats its in a better spot rather than just hanging?

 

go to your local hardware store ... they make these little "automotive plugs" , you could pick up a couple of those to plug your spoiler holes .

 

your iat doesn't need to be in your intake. i left mine 'hanging'.

 

aight ill check it out. thanx for the help guys.

its funny, when i took off that spoiler i realized how much better it looked without one. i dunno if ima put another on. but if anyone wants to root around in the trash for that one go ahead lol
